Once upon a time, Mom and Dad were exhausted and decided to take a nap on a Sunday afternoon. Before settling down, they put their children snug into their own beds and warned them to sleep or else. Well. . . just as the mom and dad fell into a deep sleep, the children decided to make plans of their own. With a little help from her younger brother, Lily pulled the mattress off of the lower bunk bed onto the floor. This would provide the cushion for her and Gavin as they jumped off the platform of a higher piece of furniture. Together hand in hand, Lily and her brother jumped off and landed almost safe onto the cushion below. However as brilliant as this plan was, it didn't take into account one tiny cheek crushing into one tiny shoulder blade.
With screams and shouts of pain, Mom and Dad were woken from their deep slumber only to find a very hurt little girl and sad little boy.
After thorough interrogations, deductions were made and the story was uncovered. The reward? About three weeks of wearing a black eye in public. This was quite devestating for an already slightly vain 5 year old. Of course I caved and let her wear some makeup to conceal it the first couple of days. That helped slightly.
